KCWV is a My Family TV-affiliated TV station in Duluth, Minnesota. The FCC granted George S. Flinn, III a construction permit for the digital-only station on channel 27 on December 6, 2006, and signed on November 30, 2009. The station broadcasts from the former KDLH tower on Duluth's Observation Hill.
Flinn is a Memphis businessman who, until 2007, owned ION Television affiliates WPXX-TV in Memphis and WPXL in New Orleans.
Though the station's call sign may suggest a future affiliation with The CW Television Network, no announcements have been made about KCWV's programming. The CW Plus (a service for small-market CW affiliates) is currently seen on KDLH-DT2, which is unable to broadcast in high definition because it is a subchannel of the market's CBS affiliate. KCWV is currently affiliated with My Family TV.
Since KCWV will be licensed as a full-power station, it will be able to mandate carriage on cable and satellite systems in the Duluth-Superior market.
